There is another daily word thread on the word la mancha, july 2 page 6. The English Channel gets a mention here as well.

@Lou Ann & Bob: a sleeveless shirt is rather a "camiseta sin mangas". "Camisa" is a more formal shirt, with buttons and a collar.

Short-sleeved shirt is a "camisa de manga corta". (We prefer the singular to give a more general idea).

Sí, pero tenemos gente que les llama polo, poleras, remeras etc...

Y creo que en Brasil y Australia tienen camisas de vestir sin mangas.
